I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Volunteer teaching English to children of war refugees. I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether the s

My experience with children and education are linked through my travels. I worked in a day care in Asheville North Carolina. I also volunteered at a mosque when I lived in London. I visited many schools when I went to Morocco. I am a student at Florida State University, working for a double-major in Creative Writing and Middle Eastern Studies. I have taken many English technique classes such as; poetry, essay, and fiction. I have extensive skills in grammar and English structure. My goal is to teach English abroad. I believe that education is the best tool you can give a child. I believe that to engage and educate children requires a personal, hands-on, and creative teaching style. I recognize that everyone learns differently. However, I believe that a child can learn anything if he/she sees the connection between the information and their daily life. I am patient and open-minded. I do

The teachers who continue to influence me and affect my day-to-day life are those who had a genuine passion for teaching and a contagious love for their subject. They were the best teachers, not only because they possessed the necessary knowledge, but because they were animated and caring and able to cater to students' needs. I believe all children can be made to see the benefits of education through the right teaching methods. If there is anything I do not know, I am able to research and learn about it independently. The most memorable teachers did not always know the answer, but they always knew where to find it or how to help the students find it. I take these lessons to heart and hope to use them to help others. I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction.

When I was in high school I excelled in math, particularly in Geometry. I assisted my father in tutoring a great deal of his clients. Once I graduated high school I pursued tutoring in Tallahassee where I attend college. I started off as an afterschool counselor for Belle Vue Middle School but my job soon turned into a teacher's assistant position because of my natural teaching abilities. Everyday after school I would be assigned to 20-30 students to assist with homework and other school assignments. My teaching style is very unique. I enjoy teaching math because I like to find different and more exciting approaches to teaching mathematical equations. I will alter my voice, bring props, make jokes or anything that makes learning math easier to understand and enjoyable. I am patient with students because I enjoy seeing them learning new things.

Upon graduating with a BA in International Affairs and Spanish in the Spring of 2003, I traveled to India to work in an orphanage and school for orphaned and underpriviledged children. For six months, I taught a wide range of subjects, including Reading, Writing, History, Social Sciences and Math in a small classroom setting (10-30 students). Last summer, I traveled to Guatemala and Mexico to work in an orphanage for abused children, to where I also returned for the past Christmas break. In the orphanage, I tutored children on a one-to-one basis in Math, English, and Reading. I also worked at an after-school program during the Fall semester of 2005, where I offered homework help to Third grade students. I truly enjoy teaching and working with children in all capacities. I believe that I am best when teaching on a one-to-one basis. I consider myself to be a very patient person and ha

My fascination with computers led me to ear two bachelor degrees in computer engineering from Morocco and computer criminology from the Florida State University. Both degrees challenged my comprehension of complex problems in math, algorithms, criminology. Furthermore, I had the privilege to serve as a lab assistant which allowed me to develop and improve my teaching capabilities. I also tutored students during my junior and senior year at FSU in discrete mathematics, databases, programming, French and Arabic. I consider teaching as the most noble work a person can do. Both my parents are teachers since 1970s and I carried that gene. In my opinion, teaching is a partnership between the instructor and the student. Feeding the curiosity of the students can help them get passionate about the subject and try to find answers. Such style helped me explain hard subjects such as cryptography to

Throughout my existence I have found myself in the role of teacher. Whether it be academic or physical, I have been blessed with keen abilities, as well as an ease in communicating ideas. This, I believe, stems from a need to comprehend not just the action of something, but the reason for that action as well. By this, often I am able to see what hinders learning in someone, and then help them to eradicate that trait. I am lucid, passionate, and hold great patience for those that truly wish to learn. Learning has always been my goal. The hope of understanding is the light which illuminates this dark abyss of bureaucracy, strange smells and seeming disorder. I have read ceaselessly, watched ravenously, pondered to no end; a mind which never sleeps but continues seeking. I was Valedictorian of my middle school and graduated from FSU magna cum laude, but these are hot air to me; decorations.

I would call myself a demonstrator or facilitator. First, I very calmly demonstrate and walk a student through the process of solving a similar problem. Then, I ask the student if they have any questions about the process. After this, I let the student try a few with my assistance and then a few more on his/her own. I don’t move on until I feel the student has grasped the material and feels confident with it no matter how much time and patience it may take. I have a genuine love for working with children. My experience includes tutoring students from grades K-12. I was a staff at the Boys & Girls Club in Central Florida and I would help students who had questions about their homework assignments, give spelling quizzes for students with spelling words and also listen to students read daily. I’ve also tutored my fellow classmates in college in Pre-Calculus, Statistics, Trigonometry, and Ch

As an undergraduate, I worked with the America Reads Program, mentoring a first grade student with reading difficulties. We met three days a week for an entire school year and progressed through successive lesson plans. I currently work as a mentor and advisor, for Florida State Universities Advising first program. On a daily basis, I interact with first time college students who are undecided on their course of study. We discuss collegiate and career objectives and generate a class schedule that reflects their interests as well as full fills their liberal studies requirements. I strongly believe that the best quality a teacher can have is adaptability. As an instructor I have a responsibility to conform to my students learning styles. I have never met a student of any age who was unintelligent or incapable of reaching their academic goals. If a student is having difficulty in a subject

I have been working with youth for over ten years. As a private music instructor and substitute teacher I have had the opportunity to work with students K-12 with a wide array of abilities. During the school year of 2009-2010 I was a para-professional in a Kindergarten PDD class (pervasive development disorder/autism) where I helped administer IEP directed lessons for 8 children on the spectrum. I have developed lesson plans for both my private students and the music production programs I've directed for the past 4 years. I have subbed in all subjects and can compensatory teach/tutor in Math, English, History, and Science at an elementary and middle school level. I really enjoy teaching and working with students and continue to develop new ways to make learning fun and engaging. Focusing on each student independently, I differentiate instruction based on each individual's learning s
